Antide Boyer (26 October 1850 – 24 July 1918) was a French manual worker, Provençal dialect writer and journalist from the south of France who became a socialist deputy.

[1] Boyer contributed to various local left-wing newspapers while editing Lou Tron de l'er.

[1] As editor-in-chief of Lou Tron de l'er from issue 26 (30 June 1877) he fought with the Félibrige, rejecting their spelling and saying their language was artificial.

[3] Although there more than 35,000 votes for the Socialist-Radical list in Bouches-du-Rhône, only Clovis Hugues and Antide Boyer could be called socialists.

[3] The members of the workers' group summarized their demands in a manifesto on 12 March 1886:[3] Our intervention will deal with questions already clarified by conscientious studies for which the solution is unanimously recognized by the interested parties as urgent.

We will demand: national and international labor legislation; repeal of the law against the International Workers' Association; recognition of the right of the child to full development of his mind and body by regulation of work; social guarantee against unemployment, sickness, accidents and old age; reorganization, on a more equitable basis, of industrial tribunals; independence guaranteed to miners' delegates and the improvement of the seamen's lot; removal of the monopolies which have delivered a large part of the national domain to private enterprises; organization of credit at work and all necessary modifications to the social interest in public works, industry, agriculture, ...[3] A strike began on 26 January 1886 in Decazeville, Aveyron, among the workers of the Société des Houllères et Fonderies de l'Aveyron.

Duc-Quercy went to Decazeville to support the strike and to draw national attention to the social issues in his Cri de peuple.

Ernest Roche also went, as did the socialist politicians Zéphyrin Camélinat, Clovis Hugues and Antide Boyer.

[8] In the session on 11 February 1886 Boyer strongly supported the interpellation by Basly, Camélinat on the government's attitude to the Decazeville strike and the proposals from the workers' group.

In the first part of 1889 he voted for reinstatement of first-past-the-post elections, against indefinite postponement of the revision to the constitution, against prosecution of the three members of the Ligue des Patriotes and against the draft Lisbonne law restricting freedom of the press.
